Looking out my backdoor

Close to a decision

Institutional racism

Even in this day and age, Italians are second class citizens at Lake Park.

Someone shoot me

I've been told that I look like the waste of oxygen in the background of this picture.

At least Halloween will be easy this year.

Turn right, then make your choice

I'd choose the surprise.

Simple solutions

Problem: MPS students cannot read.

Simple Solution: Teach the students to read. Get rid of whatever latest fad they are using (Riting to read?) and try Phonics. Yes, it means the teachers will actually have to teach, the poor overpaid dears, but the student will learn.


Problem: MMSD water rates are too high because of decreasing demand.

Problem: Waukesha is mandated by EPA overreach to stop using their well water.

Simple Solution: MMSD sell water to Waukesha at current (or discounted) rates, thereby increasing their demand and eliminating the need to increase water rates to their current customers.

SCOTUS DADT

As Dean of Harvard's law school Elena Kagen banned the U.S. armed forces from recruiting on campus because, by her reasoning, the military discriminates against gays with the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy. Her action potentially limited Harvard students' career opportunities.

Now when Kagen is nominated to the Supreme Court, the Obama regime and his Ministry of Propaganda forbid even the slightest inference to Kagen's sexual orientation.

And you had better not ask. Because she'd not going to tell.

Couldn't Kagen at least try to be consistent on this. Since she limited Harvard students' career opportunities because of DADT, shouldn't she take a stand about being appointed to the Supreme Court until this de facto DADT policy is abolished?

Oh the irony. Or is it hypocrisy?

Darth Obama's Imperial Stormtroopers

What a bunch of dorks.



What is the marching in cadence all about? Practicing for Red Square?

Here's a tip, boys. When in the presence of those dangerous teabaggers, do not travel in close formation. This will avoid having one IED take out the entire unit.

Crist for Senate

A better choice than any of the Republicans on the Wisconsin ballot. Move here Charlie. You will have my vote.

Repeal, usually a good thing

Amend it

The root of all evil.

[The Congress shall have power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes;

The tyrants in Congress have proven that they cannot control themselves and have abused this Constitutional power. They have been facilitated by the Supreme Court. Take this power away from Congress by amending the commerce clause.

[The Congress shall have power] To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations and with the Indian tribes;

This will cause revocation of all laws and legal precedents flowing from the original commerce clause. Yes that means tossing the baby out with the bathwater. But if that baby is important enough, an amendment to the Constitution can be enacted to reinstate those laws.

Rhetorical questions

Had our Founding Fathers really intended to limit the size and scope of the Federal government, what would they have written into the Constitution to achieve this end?

The following words have been interpreted to not restrain Washington's power.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Could the 10th Amendment somehow be rewritten to limit the power of Congress?

A century ago, these words meant something. If they didn't, the 18th Amendment would not have been necessary.

Under Obama, Pelosi, & Reid, is there any policy that would require a Constitutional Amendment to implement?

My kind of town ....

Dad29,

Pewaukee has something to keep you busy for a weekend.

They never said that if I voted for McCain ...

They never said that if I voted for John McCain in 2008 he would represent me in Washington.

But he will.

That looks familiar ...

I've seen something like that somewhere before.

823 Million Dollars

Wow, can we go out for bids on that?

For some perspective, the cost of adding a lane of Interstate highway is estimated to be $1.6 million to $3.1 million per lane-mile. There is something like 45 miles of two lane highway on I-94 between Pewaukee and Cottage Grove per a quick Google Maps computation. Based on these estimates, the cost to widen I-94 from two to three lanes in each direction would be between $144 and $279 million dollars.

That is only one-fifth to one-third of the cost of creating Doyle's "high speed" rail line. A rail line that will have minuscule ridership, be expensive to ride, be extremely inconvenient for almost all riders, and take longer to get between Milwaukee and Madison for any conceivable purpose.

Well done Obama. You cannot help but waste money.
